BzzAgent: Hillshire American Craft sausage review

Happy Saturday night, y'all! I've taken full advantage today of my weekend thus far. Cleaned part of my kitchen, got our couch moved & delightfully took a nap today while it poured. But I wanted to share some love with you. My hubs & I discovered the new Hillshire American Craft smoked sausages last month and they are our new favorite dinner items. We're addicted to the new Smoky Bourbon flavor. We always grill ours in our sweet indoor grill (gotta love wedding presents).

There's 3 awesome flavors of sausages: Jalapeno & Cheddar, Smoky Bourbon and Garlic & Onion. I'm excited to see my friends in a few days to cook up some sausage for them as well. :)

Each bite pops with flavor, a kick in your mouth! We cooked some up tonight and its definitely something we look forward to. Tastes great to grill but there other ways to enjoy them. No other sauce or condiments needed. Each pack comes with 5 and they're also available at Sam's Club, Walmart & Target (to my knowledge.) They're definitely awesome and you should try them out! Thanks for stopping by.. <3

BzzAgent Review: Coppertone Sunny Days sunscreen

Hello, friends! Hope you had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. I spent yesterday feasting & swimming w/family at my parent's house. As previously mentioned, I am a BzzAgent - I spread "bzz" about products, share coupons and give out product samples I receive to friends/family so they can try it out. I also get the chance to try it out and I have to say - in my opinion, I am not a super big fan of this sunscreen. Personally, since I live in Florida, where it appears we're like 3 feet from the sun all day - I need more than 30 spf which is what this offers. This sunscreen gave me a scare as it appeared to give me a breakout of bumps on my arms. Otherwise - it was fine, very light - fit under makeup to make me feel confident & it absorbs fast!

I say, wherever you are - you must use sunscreen. I recently took part in a Twitter party with Neutrogena & Crowdtappers, and both Kerry Washington (Scandal!) & Jennifer Garner shared some insane facts about the dangers of not keeping yourself protected in the sun. Allow me to share some with you: 

Even on a cloudy day, about 80% of the sun's ultraviolet rays could push through the clouds. (!!)
After suffering as little as 1 major sunburn as a child, this still raises the chances of you getting skin cancer.
Did you know?! It’s been estimated that more than 76,000 new melanomas will be diagnosed THIS YEAR ALONE #ChooseSkinHealth #NTGSpokesperson
ANOTHER FACT more than 90% of the visible changes commonly attributed 2 skin aging r caused by UVexposure #ChooseSkinHealth #NTGSpokesperson

That's all insane facts. I also learned that if you're in FL - depending on what activities you're in such as shopping, apply twice/day. If you're out in the sun at the beach, apply every 30-60 min. For those who want sunscreen that protects against humidity, you can check out sports versions of sunscreen.

Regardless of what sunscreen you use daily, I hope you'll stay protected and use it everyday!

BzzAgent//Review: Bic Soleil Glow razors

Happy Friday!

I've been blessed to earn some pretty cool products from BzzAgent by sharing my voice in what works and what does. I've been given the opportunity to review these razors I earned for FREE in lieu of my opinion.

Have you ever found yourself stuck to a particular brand of razors, ladies? You're in the bathroom or the shower and you notice you're starting to resemble some really unattractive hairy legs. (Don't judge, it happens to us all from time to time).  For years, I've used either Venus or disposable razors from Target.

However, if you're like me, you kind of have to pay an arm to afford a Venus razor lately, and disposable razors are just iffy because they're cheap and not made to last. Well -- I feel like Vanna White here.

These new razors are built to last, they shave well on the first try and not only do they have a sturdy handle so you can control them but they have a guard that you can slide off the front. Usually my disposable razors are equipped with a flimsy plastic cover that you have to risk and pull off, attached to the blades. Every time I have tried to be careful, I always get nicked. The blades also just don't last long.

I honestly enjoy these razors - they are sturdy, with the 3 blades and they come in a multi pack of 3 razors. Another positive - they are only $6.99 - which isn't expensive compared to any of the brands like Venus or Gillette which basically cost an arm & a leg to buy a refill.

So, I challenge you to go pick some up. I think in the long run, I am going to get the new Bic Solei Glow razors from here on out. The results are amazing and it takes a fraction of the time than fighting with those disposable or cheaply made ones.

*Are you interested in sharing your opinion for the opportunity of scoring some new, fresh products? All you need to do is email me at jessica_whitney@hotmail.com that you'd love to join as well & I will send you more info. I've been doing this for over a year and its honestly super fun.

BzzAgent Review: Tone Body Wash

Happy Monday, loves :)

Over the weekend, I received my sample for a campaign that I've been spreading Bzz about. One of my favorite go-to brands unleashed their newest scent - Petal Soft. This has to be a new favorite. Forget flowers on VDay or any other day - I will gladly accept this instead. Mixed with Jasmine, rose oil with Shea & cocoa butters, this body wash has truly hydrated my skin and made it smoother than usual. All of my experiences with Tone products have been very positive and this product is no different. Feel free to rush up to your local Walmart - because not only is it a great brand that makes you feel hydrated & pretty - it is cost effective. I trust this brand knowing it doesn't require an arm & a leg for a quality product. 

If you're interested in trying out products and spreading your own Bzz - feel free to visit BzzAgent.com to get started. I've done it for a year and it has opened my eyes to new products and allowed me to share my voice on what I liked/disliked for FREE :) Try it out!

Hospital stays, surprises & surgery -- oh my.

Happy Tuesday, loves!

A week ago, I got really sick on the way home from work. I have never had that pain before and it scared me, I thought I was having a heart attack and would die. Luckily, that was not it.  I am not one to call out of work over a tummy ache so when I stayed home, went to the doctor and found myself getting an ultrasound - I was worried of what it was. I was given a diagnosis of gallstones & that I needed to either remove my gallbladder or be aware that the pain I was suffering would come back if I didn't do the surgical option. So basically to make a long story short, I was admitted to the hospital Thursday night. I had to do an MRI, lots of lab-work and was blessed with great day nurses. Sunday morning, I had my surgery to remove my gallbladder. I am still in pain, sore & uncomfortable - taking one day at a time and just be praying for healing.

That's all I have for today. I am working on my next Girl Between the Lines & So What Wednesday linkups to post tomorrow - they are on their way. I am going to take advantage of this time off to rest and recuperate.

Here are some other things to enjoy:

1) If you enjoy surveys & trying out products for free - feel free to join BzzAgent. I am on this site and have actively participated in several product campaigns such as Neutrogena Long & Wear, Tone Body Wash, Garnier Hydra Recharge (shampoo/dry oil).

2) One of my daily must read bloggers, Kristen @ When At Home - started a new link up series about motherhood. If you're a mom, feel free to follow Kristen (she is hilarious!) and to link up with her new series.

3) Do you have a word for 2014? My second must read blog that I read daily, Laura @ The Everyday Joys challenges me in her new post about her word for 2014 & how abandon will be a versatile tool for the year.

I have a few big things I need to get done today & promised my parents/hubs I wouldn't overdo it this wk. Lastly, I am going to make it a thing to encourage you at the end of each post.

AMDRO Power assistance//BzzAgent (Review)

Hello..

I keep saying I need to blog but then it just doesn't happen. Not enough hours in the day.

As usual, I am posting tonight for the sole purpose of reviewing another milestone product in my life. Now, since becoming a homeowner, my husband has usually taken over as doing everything associated with our yard.

UNTIL my BzzKit arrived with my AMDRO system. (*cue wide eyes with a big smile*)

I've excitedly used it multiple times since where I live, the bugs are in high gear and its worked in all areas: seeing improvement on less guests in my home from the outside, outside activity and overall a beautiful lawn.

I am usually always at work so I've only noticed the results on the weekends when I am not rushing out the door. My husband & I both agree its a great product that has shown our home a lot of growth. It's even introduced us to neighbors who haven't talked to us before- wondering why our yard looks so good. Lots of good bzz here with our AMDRO system.




I'm a happy camper and I hope you'll trust out this system for your lawn care/pest control needs :)

Lysol Touch of Foam/BzzAgent

Hi everyone! Just wanting to put my own Bzz on a product that I've been so blessed to try for FREE!

Lysol Touch of Foam is one of the best soaps out there because you can feel the thick moist cloud of soap on your hand & how well it works. I've always stocked up on Bath and Body Works foamy anti bacterial soaps but this brand has always done a great job. Plus the scent is great for a home, it's been a hit in my house and I think if you gave it a shot- you'd be fairly impressed on how clean and smooth your hands feel. We've put a bottle in our kitchen, and other bathrooms as well as sharing the greatness with family and friends. Try it out, you'll be impressed as well.

BzzAgent/Garnier Fructis Take 2

Hello Everyone! As you all know, I'm a BzzAgent so I get to test out REAL products and then give my REAL input. It's pretty awesome ;) Today I am reviewing and putting my spin on this product which has changed my life: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil. Seriously- being in Florida tends to make my skin more dry and not as smooth as one would want. But this oil has made me feel more confident and gotten tons of compliments!




You should definitely try this out. I could spend all day talking about it but it comes with me everywhere: in my purse, to the gym, in my car, I just love to add a few spritzes to look & feel my best.

Have you ever used Garnier? If so- what did you like or didn't like about it?
